Finishing dinner tonight, I get up and I stop with a hand on my son's shoulder. look him straight in the face and ask, "When does the Narwhal bacon?" He's in his mid-teens. That wonderful time when he's not his Dad's little boy and not on his own.

He looks at me like I've lost my mind, perplexed look and asks, "What?"

"Nothing, don't worry 'bout it", I reply - and as I walk down the hallway, he gets up and follows me. Once we're out of ear-shot of the rest of the family, he whispers behind me, "midnight".

Ugh.. this story sounds fake as hell and made me cringe. Please don't bond with your son over a website.
And..please drop this secret society bullshit. There is no "us". Reddit is a huge corporate website visited by thousands upon thousands of people of drastically different interests. The idea of pretending there is an overarching reddit community is silly as hell. It's like pretending there is some undying bond between everyone who drives a Nissan.
